I Am Link

.

--- Dream Master - I have no patience for screenwriter David Goyer after the final Dark Knight movie and Man of Steel shit the bed, but I can't say that a movie version of Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics starring Joseph Gordon Levitt as the dream dude doesn't grab my interest. Apparently he's trying to get Warner Brothers to make it happen, and they are "receptive."

--- Something About Asgard - Apparently the most recent episode of Agents of SHIELD dealt with shit that happened in the new Thor movie, but I still haven't seen the new Thor movie so I don't know what Joss is talking about here. I'm not sure I'm even caught up on SHIELD anyway; I've been behind all season long. 

--- Tele Vamp - I still haven't read Guillermo Del Toro's trilogy of vampire books that go by the name Strain and now I don;'t have to, because FX has gone and ordered thirteen episodes of the series that carlton Cuse (Lost, Bates Motel) has been working on. Basically they're gunning for The Walking Dead's massive numbers, I imagine. Vamps replace zombies, and go.

--- Buggin Out - The second Amazing Spider-Man movie might not be simply called The Amazing Spider-Man 2 anymore - DH seems to think they're calling it The Amazing Spider-Man: Rise of Electro. Nothing clunky about that. I'd prefer they go with The Amazing Spider-Man: Peter Loves Harry, personally. Anyway the first trailer, hopefully featuring as much of spider-bum as can possibly be crammed into 120 or so seconds, will be playing in front of the also-terribly-titled second Hobbit movie.

--- All About Spike - Spike Lee's Oldboy remake comes out in a week so we're being subjected to listening to him tell us how awesome he is in interviews, like this one in the New York Times. I like a lot of his movies and I think he can be a terrific storyteller but good god he usually makes for a pretty insufferable interview. Michael Jordan's pissy behavior is not laudable, dude. (thanks Mac)

--- And finally, if you've seen Alfonse Cuaron's Gravity (and I certainly hope you have by now, for goodness sake) then you know the scene where Sandy gets a hold of somebody on the radio? Cuaron's brother son (and co-writer) Jonas went and made a short film from that person's point of view. Watch it!
